[Koha] Problem importing authorities (authority type gets overwritten)

[Fabio Tiana]

Hi there Željko,

I solved my problems in the meanwhile (thanks Zeno for the tip!), but BE
CAREFUL: I'm still testing it and I recommend you not to try it on a
production system yet since I'm not sure it's the correct way to set things
up.

Is OSB a built-in authority type or a custom one? I'm sorry but I don't
know what language your sample data is.

I'm asking this question because I have found that when you create a
framework for a new authority type, the list of codes of GuessAuthTypeCode
in AuthoritiesMarc.pm doesn't get updated. This seems to affect the
importing process, overwriting 152$b as you noticed and therefore putting
your authority records along the Subject (Common Name) ones in your case.

As for the linking between auths and bibs, I solved that too, but I'm going
to write it down in its own "thread" tomorrow (sorry but I'm quite busy
these weeks!). Furthermore, if I understood well, it doesn't bother you
anyway. :)

Hope this helps.

Fabio
